This week’s goals for the 2018 CCAD Calendar were as follows:
- Come up with a name for the project and group
- Figure out which major would go with which month in the calendar
- Brainstorm a few concepts for the on-location photographs
First up, we as a team came up with the name “12 Months and Counting” for our production company. In regards to the calendar itself, we are sticking to the simplicity of “2018 Columbus College of Art and Design Calendar”.
Next, Damien and I sat down and brainstormed which majors would make sense with which month. What we came up with follows:
January: Art History (OL)
Why?: January is Art Appreciation Month
February: Jewelry/Craft (Studio)
Why?: Valentine’s Day
March: Photography (OL)
Why?: Warmer month suitable for outdoor photography
April: Illustration (Studio)
May: Fashion (OL)
Why?: Able to wear more fun and fancy outfits as it gets warmer out/CCAD fashion show
June: Cinematography (Studio)
Why?: Start of blockbuster movie season
July: Industrial Design (OL)
Why?: Hot month right in middle of summer
August: Fine Arts (OL)
September: Animation (OL)
October: Comics (Studio)
Why?: Focuses on fictional characters and costumes, Halloween
November: Interior Design (OL)
Why?: Inside a house for Thanksgiving/family
December: Ad Graph (Studio)
Why?: Most commercialized month focusing on brands, logos, designs trying to sell you things, Christmas
Lastly, the concept pitches for the on-location photographs were perhaps the toughest part for me. The ones I came up with, I’m not too certain about. There’s only one or two that I could think of that possibly sound do-able to me. However, I’ll be seeing what the rest of the group came up and we as a group will decide from there what our best options are.
